The Coffee House on Cherry Street ~Tulsa, Ok

I have a confession to make.

I don’t…drink coffee.

Wow. That was tough.

I would like to be one of those cool people sitting with their mac in a coffee shop drinking their cup of coffee but I am not.

I don’t even own a mac.

I know.

Shameful.

We are linux people. If you don’t know what that means, look it up.

I am mean like that.

Back to coffee.

My stay at home mom’s group met for mom’s night out at The coffee house on Cherry street and since I do not drink coffee I ordered a Spiced Chai. It was the first thing I recognized on the menu…

Not this menu obviously, I did not want to even look at the food menu. It was bad enough I had to choose from all the different drinks!

I have never had a spiced chai but I am a tea drinker so I figured I was safe.

Really cute place.

Lots of seating.

They had a guy coming in to sing so we went outside so people could here him instead of just us.

We get a little loud…

I did go back in for a minute and listen though, he was really good.

You can find him at skysmeed.com

There was some beautiful light outside.

My Spiced chai and someones coffee.

We stayed until it was dark out.

So yes, I was the odd person taking lots of pictures.

What else do you do in a coffee shop though?

Homeschooling

1st day of school~ 2011

Last week was our first week of school for the year. We are doing Kindergarten and Pre-school.

Here is a peek into our day.

A lot of our school involves reading.

There is some great historical fiction for young children you just have to be willing to search for it!

After reading about Galileo’s experiment, we decided to try it for ourselves.

First you drop a rock and a flat piece of paper then you crumple the piece of paper up into a ball and drop them both again.

The crumpled paper falls faster then the flat paper.

In case you are wondering. Yes, my boys did hate dropping things.

Worst experiment ever for boys.

You can tell by looking at their faces how bored they were…

My husband had the day off so he did math with the boys.

We are using RightStart curriculum for math and the boys seem to really enjoy it.

I like how hands on it is.

I should have had Nick take pictures while I was reading to the boys but I did not think about it until later.

I seem to do that a lot…

My days are changing with this new challenge but I am really enjoying sharing my love of learning with my two little men.

Great ideas after the fact count, right?
